Plagiarism controversy
On August 9, 1999, an article by Crowley titled "The Day Nixon Said Goodbye," appeared in the
The Wall Street Journal. Four days later, after the paper received charges of plagiarism from at least one reader, they acknowledged what they termed the "striking similarities" between Crowley's article and an article by
Paul Johnson titled
In Praise of Richard Nixon(External Link
) published in the October 1988 issue of
Commentary Magazine. The Journal editor stated unequivocally:
Had we known of the parallels, we wouldn't have published the article.(External Link)
The New York Times reported on the incident the following Monday:
A California radiologist, Charles Pfaff, was reading The Wall Street Journal's editorial page last Monday when he felt a sense of deja vu. The article he was reading, The Day Nixon Said Goodbye, by the former President's confidante, Monica Crowley, seemed familiar.
He was right. The article paralleled a 1988 piece in Commentary: In Praise of Richard Nixon by Paul Johnson. Some parts were repeated almost verbatim.(External Link)
Crowley herself acknowledged the similarity between the pieces:
Reached by telephone on Friday afternoon, Ms. Crowley, the author of Nixon Off the Record (Random House, 1996) and Nixon in Winter (Random House, 1998), agreed that "there are clear similarities in the language. I've wracked my brain, and I can honestly tell you that I've not read" Mr. Johnson's article.(External Link)
On August 23, 1999,
Slate Magazine pushed a piece detailing five specific passages in Crowley's article that contain identical language and phraseology to Johnson's piece, and concluded that "it just isn't possible for Crowley not to have read Johnson's article."
